The EU's landmark rulebook that aims to make the online environment safer, fairer, and more transparent is applicable from 17 February 2024.
Margrethe Vestager, Executive Vice-President for a Europe Fit for the Digital Age, said:
From tomorrow, the Digital Services Act rules apply to all online platforms accessed by users in the EU. Users, Member States, and platforms can now use the tools under the DSA to shape a safer and more transparent online world. This is a big milestone that reflects our fundamental EU values and principles.
Thierry Breton, Commissioner for Internal Market, said:
As of 17 February, the DSA starts applying to all online platforms in the EU. We are fully mobilised to ensure full implementation of the DSA and we encourage all Member States to make the most out of our new rulebook. Effective enforcement is key to protect our citizens from illegal content and to uphold their rights.
